My mom and dad both have a Samsung Strive on AT&T and it doesn't require a data plan, and if they can figure out how to use it, then anyone can.

Hmm... After it's done with the first CD, and it's rebooting, the CD is still in there, right? I believe that the mac continues to boot off the first CD until the second is needed. The HD isn't booted from until the installation has finished. Once it's done with the first CD, and restarts, try holding down the "C" key to ensure it doesn't try and boot from the HD.

Well, after it reboots it is booting to the CD but it comes up with the intial install screen all over again.

What is weird is the last thing it does before it reboots is the system optimization which I think is the very last thing that happens before the install is complete. But it is still on the first CD.

Thanks for your response, I wasn't expecting any responses till after the Macworld hysteria calmed down.

Yeah, but it's kinda funny and some people may have not seen it before. :)

That being said, I NEED SOME!! :p :p :p

Wow - Godfather is great.

I played it solidly from 11am on Saturday until 2am on Sunday, hardly pausing for food even. Why would anyone want to play GTA when you can play something similar with a much better plot and characters?

Because GTA is a much better game (better character development & customisation, better fighting, better weapons, better vehicles, better steering controls, richer gameplay etc.) in a much richer, more varied and larger setting, with an 'original' plot with lots of side plots.

From what I understand, high impedance headphones came about in old studios. The main advantage is that you can run many headphones in parallel (on tube amps). I guess it would all come down to power transfer, the amp acts as a load in itself in a way, and if the headphone impedance is really low, you won't get a good signal as most of the power will be dissipated in the amp.

But most modern D/A end with an opamp, or at least I'm guessing the one in the macs do. It's certainly not tube. As much as opamps probably don't have the sound quality of tube, their output impedance is very low. So there shouldn't be a power transfer problem. So I'm guessing that noise shouldn't be a big problem. Sure the voltage in the high impedance will be higher, thus there should be a bit less noise, but really, that's nothing compared to having a cheap D/A stuck inside a computer. Also there shouldn't be a problem with the frequency response.

From what I understand, tube amps have a higher output impedance, so they can have a hard time with certain low impedance headphones. Apparently, there's could be a difference in sound as there's a bigger magnetic field, so possibly better control over the diaphragm. But I somehow doubt that high impedance headphones will make a macbook pro sound magically good.

I could be totally be off, I never came across high impedance headphones. Kind of a cool thing to think about.

Why don't you go round all 3 apple stores in the city , then go around all the best buy stores and then some other tech stores.

I got the lower base 27" model for $1615 + tax, so I'm pretty happy. The $85 I saved will pay for an extra 8GB of RAM :) Going to have some dev VMs running on this sucker with no problems. 4 I got mine ordered as well! i went with the high end 27", with the sale going on it cost me $2038 including tax. i read a forum post on macrumors that said that the imacs are having issues with screen yellowing. i'm starting to worry about it a little bit haha

Sometimes I've very pleased with their products. Sometimes I'm mightily annoyed. I spent months trying to get an Acrobat problem resolved and their customer service was the worst I have ever encountered. I finally bought Photoshop CS this year and I'm very pleased with it. So our love/hate relationship continues.

So I've been thinking

Xcode now requires Snow Leopard - when Lion comes out is it likely I'll need Lion to continue developing or should I be good with Snow Leopard? I only ask as my current development machine is a Core Duo (read - not good enough for Lion) and if I'm going to need to update I'll need to plan ahead.

Whilst I realise nobody 'knows' at the minute, does anyone know when XCode required Snow Leopard from? Was it from Snow Leopard's release, or simply when Xcode 4 came into existance?

I've structured the WorldEdit talk page to allow for nominations. This allows everyone (including unregistered users) to make them. Tuesday sounds good to me, although we might have to delay it a bit this week.

I use this stuff, it is good and the lifetime warranty is international: http://www.memoryamerica.com/2fk225672800at.html �136 + postage 4x2gb. or http://www.memoryamerica.com/fk251272800a.html �174 + postage 2x4gb. They posted 2 sets to me at $32 postage each. 16GB for the price of 8GB in the UK back in 2008 when I bought it.

Another reason Alt/Option may be "locked" is that you may have set up firmware password protection. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1352 (It actually shows up as a lock).

If so, turn it off.

Here is my collection

Is it just the picture, or is that shelf ready to go?

Nice collections BTW. I had about 500 DVDs from the States, but since i live in Greece now, they wont play on my PS3 I bought here, so I converted them all, and have them stored on my external drive.

Anyone have any ideas what I should do with them? I have them in two boxes in the garage.

I think the faster HDD will make a big difference. I have a Powermac with 933 mhz, 1 Gb ram, and a 7200 rpm drive, and a iBook with 1.33 ghz, 1.5 Gb ram, and a 4200 rpm hard drive. They both have a fresh install of Leopard. The Powermac is faster at everything, even though it has a slower processor, and 1/3 less ram.

If your iBook has 512 ram built in, you can expand it to 1.5 Gb. If it has 256 built in, you can expand it to 1.25 Gb. Either way, you could put a 1 Gb stick in it.

I have mactubes installed, and they both play youtube videos very good.

That's actually the 'Batmobile' Newton. One of three prototype versions that were superseded to market by the 4th and final version. You can see the three here (with a link to a flickr page showing more pics of the Batmobile version):

This ebay one is missing the bit that actually refers to its name, the batmobile type snap-on cover. Still rare, but without the cover... I dunno. A few were actually made for a TV show in a limited production run (like the Powerbook in Independence Day), something Apple did a bit of back then.
